Chapter 557: Powder
A long and thick breath came out of Concubine Hui's nose, and with this breath, the expression on her face improved slightly.
"Since entering the palace, Concubine Tong and I have been on good terms, and I have discovered the secret of this bracelet here, so I naturally want to remind her. At that time, she and I were not in high status, so in order not to make the queen suspicious, we only picked out the musk in the bracelet beads, and this bracelet is still worn every day. It wasn't until I gave birth to Yu'er safely, coaxed His Majesty to be happy, and rewarded him with a bracelet, that I replaced the bracelet. β
What Hui Guifei said was an understatement, but Gu Yuqing could understand how Hui Guifei lived a worrying and uneasy life every day when Xiao Yu was not yet born.
There is a queen in the dark, and in the light, there is the bracelet.
Although the musk has been removed, after all, it is something that has been impregnated with the fragrance of musk, if she can wear it with peace of mind, Gu Yuqing will never believe it.
Because I can understand it, the discomfort and distress in my heart will be more prosperous.
When Xiao Yu was born and Concubine Hui did not sit firmly in the days, their mother and son were only afraid that they would be rumors day and night.
No wonder, Xiao Yu later made such an unlearned appearance!
Thinking of all these years, Xiao Yu has been like this, but everything she has done is for self-preservation, in order to live a breath, Gu Yuqing's heart is like being pricked by thousands of needles as thin as cow's hair, and her heart and liver tremble in pain.
Concubine Hui's words fell, her tone paused slightly, and the look in her eyes, like a thick fog blown away by the wind, gradually faded, the corners of her mouth pulled into a smile, and said to Gu Yuqing: "That bracelet, although it is already more than ten years old, but it has been soaked in musk, you must not touch it." β
Gu Yuqing understood Concubine Hui's worries and uneasiness, and immediately nodded, "I know, don't worry." It's just that this thing is clearly more than ten years old, why did Concubine Tong turn it out again?"
Between her and Concubine Hui, except that she is a reborn person who can't be mentioned, right now, there is no secret that can't be said.
Especially these things that involve life and death.
The affairs in the palace, even if Concubine Hui didn't say it, she also understood that even if it was just a matter the size of a sesame seed, behind it, it might hide the unbearable truth that it had long been rotten, festering, pus, and maggots.
Concubine Hui shook her head, a layer of confusion appeared in her eyes, showing her incomprehension.
Gu Yuqing said again: "Also, Concubine Tong said that the milk here is different from the milk next to it, why does Niangniang's expression change greatly, but what is the problem with this milk?"
"I didn't hide it from you!" Concubine Hui was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled, but that smile contained a cold breath, which was inspiring.
"In this palace, there are people who can drink milk, except for me, that is, the queen and the queen mother, but she said, my here is better than the side out, you think about it, where should she be here?"
Gu Yuqing was stunned when she heard this, no wonder Concubine Hui immediately had a strange face!
What Concubine Tong said must be the queen's place.
The queen and Concubine Hui are open enemies, but Concubine Tong, as a close friend of Concubine Hui, drank the queen's milk......
If it was just an ordinary greeting ceremony, or if the queen was provoking and looking for her, she would definitely not entertain her with milk.
The milk she can drink is enough to see a little, at least at the moment when she drinks, there is an alliance between her and the queen.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing's face froze, and his eyes were shocked.
Could it be that Concubine Tong ......
Seeing Gu Yuqing like this, a helpless smile appeared on Concubine Hui's lips, "I didn't want to tell you, the charm methods in this palace are really disgusting." I will go to meet the queen in a while, and at the banquet, I am afraid that you will lose control of your emotions and do something to damage your strength. β
Saying that, Concubine Hui sighed lightly, "But I ignored that our A-Qing is so smart, I don't say it, you can also see the clues." β
A sentence about our A Qing made Gu Yuqing feel emotion in her heart when she heard it.
We, Ah Qing!
"That's it, even if that's the case, you also help me analyze and analyze, what do you think Concubine Tong went to the queen's place?"
Gu Yuqing thought for a moment, but did not answer Concubine Hui's question, but turned her head, wanting to reach out and ask for the bracelet again.
Seeing that she was holding the bracelet in the palm of her hand, Concubine Hui's face suddenly changed, "You kid, why are you still touching it......" Nervousness came out spontaneously.
Gu Yuqing only said: "Do you want to see if Niangniang wants to see, after decades, the beads that were cleaned up back then, now, will there be something new to fill them." With a smile on his lips, he looked straight at Concubine Hui.
Hui Guifei was stunned, and immediately understood what Gu Yuqing meant, gasped, got up, walked in front of Gu Yuqing almost in two steps, and snatched the bracelet in his hand, "You kid, you obviously have doubts, and you still have to hold it in your hand, you are not taboo, I am not at ease!"
As he spoke, he turned around and handed the bracelet to the palace maid on one side, and ordered, "Open the bead." After that, he sat down again, and glanced at Gu Yuqing with disgust, "This kind of thing, you can't be sloppy, I'm waiting to hold my grandson." β
Gu Yuqing......
Mother, we are discussing such a serious issue, and you suddenly come to such a sentence, is it really good!
Although the beads on the bracelet look round and like a complete and seamless one, if you look closely, there are very small and very small gaps, and the palace maid is ingenious, and with skill, she opens one of them.
After opening it for a moment, Deng Shi's face changed, "Niangniang!" and presented the bead that she had divided in half to Hui Guifei.
Gu Yuqing leaned over and looked over.
The beads contained a light yellow powder, which gave off a pungent smell as it was exposed.
What was the significance of the queen giving this bracelet to Concubine Tong back then, Concubine Tong and the queen both knew it, but after more than ten years, she suddenly turned it out and put it on, which was unreasonable.
Coupled with the milk matter mentioned by Concubine Hui, Gu Yuqing suddenly felt that this bracelet was even more strange.
Sure enough!
It's just that based on the taste and color, Gu Yuqing can't determine what this powder is, "Niangniang......"
Hui Guifei's eyes, the moment she saw the powder, narrowed, her face was tense, and the slightest strand of skin was filled with indescribable anger!
That's the person she's been getting better for more than ten years!
Even if she said cow's milk because of her mouth just now, she was only suspicious, thinking that she might have to submit to the queen in order to save the fetus in her womb, but she never thought that Concubine Tong would use means against her.
actually used the means on the people she cared about the most.
She regards Xiao Yu as her life, Gu Yuqing is Xiao Yu's quasi-princess, and Concubine Hui treats Gu Yuqing equally.
The anger in her heart was completely aroused, and Hui Guifei's hand holding the handkerchief made a creaking sound.
In this palace, she still knows people and faces, but she doesn't know her heart, and she is ...... Carelessly, how can there be true friendship in this realm.
It was she who was naΓ―ve.
From the day she entered the palace, she should have understood that in this life, except for the one who lives in the Pingxi Palace, she will have no friends!
